I recently took the time to take some time to listen to a few songs by the band Kings of Leon and there were some songs that I didn’t like and ones that I really liked. One of the songs that came up as a neutral choice was the …

Before Franz Ferdinand’s debut self-titled album released in 2004, Scotland has only Rod Stewart, Shirley Manson and Annie Lennox, who each of them has something different than just singing. Image which was built by Alex Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Nick McCarthy and Paul Thomson, was like white boy disco, a …

This is the remix to Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” single and music video off of their third album of the same name. Well, just like their remix video for “Jumpin’, Jumpin’”, I really don’t quite see what is …

The UK’s favourite Indie rockers returned this summer with their fourth studio album, entitled Suck It and See.
Despite critics and fans alike not being too impressed with their last record, Humbug, the boys from Yorkshire have returned with, what I feel, is a very impressive album.
Although I was …

“Nobody’s Fool”
Performer: Cinderella
“Nobody’s Fool” performed by the rock group Cinderella is a song I used to hear on those late infomercials for this particular set of cds (I can’t remember for, something about rock ballads) and I would hear various 80s rock groups and Cinderella was one of the …

I was a big fan of Selena Gomez when I was like 10-14 years old. I always saw her as Miley Cyrus’ rival during those days, coming from Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place.
I loved some of her songs when she was called “Selena Gomez and the Scene”; …

I first was acquainted with Taylor Swift’s music through her single You Belong with Me. I kept hearing it over the radio and I thought it was a catchy song. I am no teenybopper but somehow it was not long before the single appealed to me. …

Eminem has always been an artist who I equally admire or loathe depending on the day. At his best I find him to be a brilliant, profound writer who really captures emotions and thoughts skillfully in his music and words. At his worst he is childish and …

Once again Lady Gaga gives us another amazing single. I love Alejandro with its throwback to past hits ranging from ABBA’s “Fernando” to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. I have a hard time getting this song out of my head every time I hear it which is a …

As a big fan of international music, I try to expand my collection every so often with a “big hit” CD that I’ll have hours of enjoyment listening to. It’s a much better experience when I’m able to discover a CD that contains lots of different voices, tons of …

Hangar 18 is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. I’ll mention right now that if you aren’t really a person who enjoys guitar solos very much, this probably isn’t a track that you’ll enjoy all that much, or at least as much as …

Video: “Get Ready”
Album: Double Up

The Cranberries is one of my most favorite bands of all time. I’ve bought three of their previous albums and I know almost all their songs by heart. I just love Dolores O’Riordan. That’s why when their CD, Stars - The Best of 1992-2002 came out, I immediately went …

Ripple is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album American Beauty. Ripple starts off with a very lighthearted rhythm led by an acoustic guitar along with a bass line, I can’t stress how truly lighthearted and just carefree this part truly sounds and it seems …

Slither is a song by Metallica which appears on their album Reload, the second half of their doubl ealbum, Load/Reload. The song opens up with an extended powerchord with Hetfield beginning the vocals very early singing with some kind of effect on his voice in a tone that I …

So we’ve all seen plenty of music videos that switch between shots of the band rocking in the background and a dramatic scene played by a couple of actors. But never before have I seen something so entirely original that I just sit back and think, “What a great …

I don’t often purchase country music, but over the years I have gravitated toward certain artists like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and The Dixie Chicks. Recently, I have been listening to an artist by the name of Jessie James. She is a young country singer who just released her …

I first discovered Jessie J through her first single, Price Tag, on the Top 40 List. It was a very catchy tune with a simple message and an upbeat attitude which is perfect for a summer song. I then saw her perform her music video for Who …

I saw this music video after the CMT Music Awards. I didn’t think I was going to like it but since it won an award, I figured I would listen to it and see if it really deserved it. I had wanted Carrie Underwood to win for “Cowboy Casanova”. …

Like the band’s name Groove Armada, their song sounds groove too. Like this song ‘My friend’, it’s not a new song from them, but I really like it, because whenever I listen it sounds new for me.
The song sounds easy listening, it can calm down your mind when …

This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …

One Time is a debut song of the Canadian Singer 16 year old artist Justin Bieber. Redzone Entertainment produces it. One of the songs that is part of the album, My World. I admit, it sounds cool at the first time I heard it and when I get used …

This is the deepest song Sugarland has ever come out with. And I say this because it reminds me of the relationship with me and mother and me trying to grow up too quickly. I live four hours away from my mother and it makes me wish that I …

Lablakely Dress is a song by Animal Collective and the penultimate track on their second album entitled Danse Manatee. To begin, let me just say that after following Ahhh Good Country on the track listing, Lablakely Dress has quite an act to follow, but I will be clear and …

R. Kelly ft. Winsin & Yandel
“Burn It Up”
TP-3 Reloaded
Jive Records
If you can find something that distinguishes R. Kelly’s “Burn It Up” music video from Faith Evans’ “Burning Up” music video, other than the fact this is like a male-led version, you will get a date with any of the …

This record is fabulous. When people talk about the Cure and their best albums people usually mention such albums as Seventeen Seconds, the 1982 album called Pornography, the 1989 Disintegration. All of these three albums are kind of pompous, grand. This album, the 1985 The Head on the Door …

Canadian MetalCore band, The Agonist, is acclaimed for their hard-hitting riffs, lush guitar and vocal melodies, and brutal Death Metal growls and screams (done by female vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, no less). Their second and most recent album, “Lullabies for the Dormant Mind” (released in March of 2009) demonstrates all …

Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …

One of my guilty pleasures is listening to dance music rave, euro-dance and euro-pop from the nineteen nineties. I guess it’s a little strange judging from my personality and my other likes and dislikes, but I believe it stems from me hearing it so much, and liking the dance …

Utada Hikaru’s Apple and Cinnamon song is the right amount of song that makes you go through your daily life situations. You can listen to this when you are sad. You can listen to this when you are happy. You can also listen to this …

I have most recently developed an attatchment to another song that starts off with a slow,flowing, and a tune created by an acoustic guitar. This may seem tedious to an audience who is exposed to almost a million songs that is written about a “sappy” moment in our lives. …

The Downward Spiral is the title track for a record released by Nine Inch Nails. The track starts off with just some noise in the background which gradually grows louder and certainly helps in creating a very dark and eerie mood which is really just rampant throughout this entire …

After listening to the Pirates of the Carribean Ultimate Swashbuckler collection CD that came with our Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man’s Chest DVD, I can understand why they chose to give it away rather than sell it.
While it is a good historical account of the songs pirates often …

I have never really been a huge fan of Beyonce’s. But I am at least glad that she is breaking from some of that choppy singing that she does. In this song, she muses over the possibility of what it would be like if she were the …

Silvio is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Down In The Groove. Something interesting about this track is that it’s actually a collaboration between Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, I’m not exactly sure how much The Dead contributed to this song musically, but I …

At first, I thought we …

Whenever there is a singing contest it never happen that there is no Whitney song that the contestant will not sing. It is always present. Maybe because Whitney has the best vocal range among the singer in the US and if you can be able to sing her song …

Keep Holding On by Avril Lavinge is a song that is a beautiful ballad. This song is sad but it gives some people hope when they know someone else is willing to stay with them through any thing. I love this song for the hope it fills you with …

Electric Funeral is a song by Black Sabbath which appears on their second record, Paranoid. Opening up with an iconic Tony Iommi riff which has a heavy wah-effect, the band goes for a simple sound, but a sound which they certainly make sound quite dark and heavy. Though I …
